cause i'm addicted
to the internet that is. don't laugh. this is a very serious ailment. I may require rehab, i wonder if i can google search for that? :)
Ok not really, but in all honesty, I will be reading, totally engrossed in my work, and then say I get up to get a cup of tea, and suddenly i'm not doing work anymore. I'm reading b0st0n posts, and oh totally getting carried away.
Today I was definitely productive though. Up to a point :)
I woke at 8 am to attend the weekly Sat am farmer's market that I have fallen in love with. there's always a buzz of activity, pretty veggies and fruits and flowers and baked goods to behold, as well as religious and/or politically engaging conversations to get sucked into.
I then walked to Whole Foods (I can walk there from my house. this may be very very bad for my very very stretched wallet. goddamn credit cards. and love of yummy things. sigh.) and walked home, where I did all my laundry and made a very yummy butternut squash and apple soup with leeks, garlic and ginger. Mmm fall flavors, I love you.
I finished all my tasks just in time to walk back out to the train to go to Georgia Ave to meet a friend from CCT for lunch at a Jamaican place called Sweet Mango Cafe. There was yummy food there, and no body but me and her for a while. It very much reminded me of a cafe I used to go to at Brigham Circle that was called Flames. I think I used to be one of the only whiteys to frequent it. Then another chic from our program showed up, and we took off for a very fun drive thru the city to go shopping at TjMaxx. The only reason I did any shopping was cause I justified it by the fact that not having a car means I'm almost always precluded from going to places like that.
Then I got a ride home. And waited for Jenn's old roomate Jen to come over. Jenn's away at a bachelorette party somewhere on some island in MD this weekend. But since her old roomie needed a place to crash I said yes. I'm very very very glad I did not also say yes to some 3 other girls that may have showed up with her if I was not logical and firm. Check it out. I can be logical. Maybe grad school is teaching me more than one would at first glance realize. eh?
But seriously, how was I supposed to get all my reading done with FOUR random strangers hanging out in my house? Oh that's right.
I don't need other people to distract me.
I hope you enjoyed this story.
